Anyone? Or does this post belong more in the HTPC forum? Thanks!

Hi, I picked up a Slim Devices Squeezebox to stream my MP3 collection from my computer to my HT over my wireless network. I can see why tons of people rave about this little guy: the setup was a breeze and I love the features and intuitive UI. But it has one flaw that unfortunately may be a...

Dennis, I just came back from the Sunnyvale Fry's and they must have put more out there since lunchtime b/c they had two shopping carts full of 'em. Mostly WS it looks like too. $39.99 today only. Enjoy!!

thanks, tim. yeah, i am not paying for it, but this is such a hassle. i want to be able to just finish unpacking but can't. if this drags on any longer, i want to get some money back. why should i be paying rent if i can't really live there yet you know?

so when i moved into my new apartment, i discovered that the carpet that was shampooed didn't dry right, leaving a mildewy/stale smell. the other day they removed the stink of my carpet by "de-odorizing" it, whatever that means. they claim it was a chemical process that kills the mold. so now...

Thanks... So how do we know that Anna Espinoza is back then?

OK, I really wish I taped this one b/c I want to replay that last scene again. Francie is dead in the bathtub, but who shot her? Was that person supposed to look like a "Francie" double, or was that Anna? When I first saw the person on the phone, I was so SHOCKED to learn she (what looked...

Nice topic. Some of my favorites: Davey and Tommy getting hosed when Davey's dad drinks the Mountain Dew they were fighting over. The Yahoo! talking dolphin. Budweiser "how you doing?" where the out-of-towner honestly answers the simple salutation each time. "Thanks for asking! I'm...

Thanks for this info, guys!

I am thinking of going back to contact lenses after a 10 year hiatus. I am out of the loop: how have they improved in the past decade? ie, what kind should I consider buying to avoid these problems I had last time I wore them: - Didn't like the hassle of daily cleaning (I am thinking of...

thanks for the suggestion, robert. they suggested i reboot it and i just tried it and it worked.... strange. but i am not complaining... just so glad it worked!!!

I should mention that I hacked this TiVo a while ago, so I don't have a warranty to fall back on... Thanks...

Hey there... My TiVo's two LED lights have gone out and the IR sensor seems to have broken today. The remote/batteries still work b/c I can still use it to turn on my TV and to change the volume. When I turn the TV on, I am at the mercy of whatever is on Live TV. I do see the TiVo...

Fellow Alias Fans: The other day, I was looking through my TiVo's to-do list and to my surprise, I noticed it was NOT planning to record tonight's Alias: Since ABC decided to switch last week's "The Indicator" episode to a repeat at the last minute b/c of the World Series, my TiVo didn't...

John, that's a great suggestion!! Thanks!

I appreciate all this info, fellows. Thanks for telling me about MuMetal and how to shield speakers... I will definitely check it out. I realize now that if I shift ALL my other furniture closer to the front door, I may be able to create enough space to move my speakers further away from...

Oh, the dealer did suggest that if I just can't move the speakers further apart, that I might try to raise the height of the TV... that makes me a little nervous though; that's one heavy-ass television.

hey Ron! Yeah, I live in a bottom floor apartment, otherwise I would be all over that whosehouse fan idea!

Ah... lead. Good for blocking kryptonite, lining the engine of your Delorean, and shielding your televisions from magnetic fields! James, I called my dealer and he said he was not aware of such a modification for B&W's... :rolleyes

I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction with this one. I just moved to an apartment with a *very* small living room and I am having trouble with the placement of my B&W 604's with respect to my 36" Wega. The living room configuration doesn't really give me too much...

Wow, those fans look cool. Do they just move the same hot air around and around or will the circulated air be a little cooler than stagnant air? What has worked for you: keeping all the windows closed so no more hot air gets in, or opening them up so the circulated air has a way to get...

It's hot. I want an air conditioner, but they are a little pricey and suck up a lot of power, so I want to look at fans first. Anyone have a favorite brand/model that you know works really well? I am leaning towards window fans that will really MOVE some of this hot air OUT of my...

Thanks for the tips... Oh, I forgot to mention that this keyboard is on a laptop so I can't really easily pop the keys off, etc. :D I will try some mild soap and a cloth... and I will wash my hands more often. :b

cool, I will try these suggestions.... thanks... don, yeah, it looks like oil/dirt build-up, not just a wearing down of the keys...

Okay, this is a weird question, but I thought maybe someone has experienced the same thing: I have noticed that certain, more-frequently-used keys on my keyboard (especially the space key) have what looks like oily-smudges from prolonged typing. How do you clean off these keys? Thanks...

Thanks, Jereme!

Jereme and Nick, Thanks for the tips. I will try playing with those tools. Jereme: Thanks for posting those tutorial links when you get a chance: I'd love to take a look... Ernest
